Updating IFSD to respond to current and future challenges
Key Principles/Directions- Multilevel governance- Multistakeholder participation- Integration among 3 SD dimensions and others- Strengthen environmental dimension of SD- Subsidiarity
Interventions Strengthen integration and mainstreaming of SD at all
levels of governance Increase capacity building, tech. transfer, funding
– Close persistent implementation gap
Phased Approach (short, medium and long term )
Context Present institutional framework inadequate to meet
current and future challenges and development goals SD agenda overshadowed by foreign policy concerns;
– Although global commons management and transboundary issues increasingly are of national level interest
